It's 44 years, according to Google.
I can think of rap tracks from 1979, but not 1973. What rap was there in 1973?

I think it's taking it from when people started looping breaks and rhyming, rather when people started recording and releasing the rhymes.
It might well be 44 I wasn't really paying attention.

I just clicked on the game thing they have.
44 since Kool Herc's first party where he extended the break to keep everyone dancing, so I guess it counts.
